Ghost 4-X Team Hardtail Bike 2012

The equipment of our professionals. Lightweight and robust aluminium frame, Rock Shox Reba fork with floating axle and Shimano XT rear derailleur, plus robust components. When the starting gate goes down, this machine doesn’t hold back. Light, powerful and robust. A pro for tough duels.

Technologies:
• Tapered headtube: The tapered head tube broadens towards the bottom leading to better force transfer from the fork to the frame. The increased stiffness of the tapered head tube combined with the tapered fork lead to the bicycle’s improved and more direct steering.
• QR15: The QR15 axle system for suspension forks is equivalent to the X12 standard for the rear triangle. It combines quick tool free assembly of a quick-release lever with better rear axle stability at significantly lighter weight
• PBB: PressFit Bottom Brackets feature bearing shells that are directly pressed – and not screwed - into the bottom bracket housing. The larger housing width allows for a wider down tube. Greater support width results in increased stiffness. The screwless design improves stability and reduces maintenance.
• ISCG: Our 4X and DH frames are ISCG compatible. The International Standard Chain Guide is a standardized 3-point mounting system to mount chain guides to bottom bracket shells.The advantage: Mounting chain guides does not require disassembly and reassembly of the bottom bracket
• Oversized Down tube: The equipment of our professionals. Lightweight and robust aluminium frame, Rock Shox Reba fork with floating axle and Shimano XT rear derailleur, plus robust components. When the starting gate goes down, this machine doesn’t hold back. Light, powerful and robust. A pro for tough duels.
• Dirt Rippin geometry: From professionals for professionals. Our Dirt Rippin Geometry is not only designed for speed, but offers reserves in even the most extreme situations. With Dirt Rippin Geometry, our World Cup stars cut a great figure all around the globe.
• Oversize Headtube: The oversized head tube is able to improve force transfer from the fork to the frame. The broader frame tube structure increases the frame’s torsion strength and ability to better withstand stress.
• GQC Ghost Quality Center - We Test - You Ride: We only accept premium quality. This is why our bicycles and all components are tested according to the latest technology standards. Our test labs enable us to simulate trail and real-world riding in the lab and to fast-forward a bike’s entire life cycle within a few days. We want to make absolutely sure that you are not a part of our test series, but get a bicycle you can trust
• 3D-Hot Forging: Thanks to 3D-hot forging technology it is now possible to forge even the most difficult three-dimensional moulds. Unlike milled components, 3D forging technology yields a denser material structure of the aluminium alloy, which results in improved structural strength.
• TLC: Tender Loving Care: Our bike think tank thrives on the daily motivation and commitment of our team to do their best for your bicycle. Even after office hours the fascination and love for bicycle sports has a hold on us. We are proud of our bikes and rest only when you are happy with your GHOST as well.
• Handmade: Our bikes are assembled by hand at our headquarters in Waldsassen. Our "All under one roof“ strategy makes for short distances, a fast supply chain, and guarantees high quality assembly. We can be flexible and guarantee quicker availability of our bikes
• GCT: Ghost Custom Tubing: We do not use standardized tubesets, but develop our frames and required tubes ourselves. A lightweight, yet sturdy frame requires specifically adapted forms and wall thicknesses.
• COC: Competence Center Waldsassen: Development and assembly, test procedures and rides, everything happens under one roof here.
